Description

Gas Clouds are new obstacles, and players may select them instead of asteroids or debris clouds.

While a ship executes a maneuver, if it moves through or overlaps an obstacle, it executes its maneuver as normal but suffers an effect based on the type of obstacle. After executing the maneuver, the ship rolls one attack die. On a Action: Focus or Hit result, the ship gains one strain token. Then the ship skips its perform action step.

While a ship is not executing a maneuver, if it moves through or overlaps an obstacle, it suffers an effect based on the type of obstacle (after resolving its move, if applicable). After the move, the ship rolls one attack die. On a Action: Focus or Hit result, the ship gains one strain token.

When a gas cloud obstructs an attack, the defender rolls 1 additional defense die, and may change up to 1 blank result to an Action: Evade result.

Note

The three gas clouds found in the Guardians of the Republic Squadron Pack exactly match the three gas clouds found in the Servants of Strife Squadron Pack.
